Pasta Bolognese

Few dishes are more comforting on a chilly day than a rich pasta Bolognese. We’re going traditional with our recipe with the exception of our use of Zepter Masterpiece Cookware, which will allow us to cook our Bolognese sauce the healthier way, at low temperatures and without adding any water, oil or fats.

Pasta Bolognese dates back all the way to 18^th century Italy and is typically served with “tagliatelle” style pasta. Tagliatelle are long noodles that are thicker than spaghetti, making them perfect for picking up the chunky Bolognese sauce. In fact, the Italians call Bolognese sauce “ragu” so if you find yourself in the boot shaped country craving a plate of the meaty sauce be sure to ask for “Tagliatelle al Ragu”.



As we previously mentioned, we’ll be making our sauce in Zepter Masterpiece Cookware. Our ingredients will retain maximum nutritional value and intense flavor, since they’ll cook in their own juices at low temperatures. We won’t use any water or oil during the preparation of our sauce, since all Zepter cookware is constructed from 316-L stainless steel, which prevents any sticking and produces no toxic substances during the cooking process.
